Oak's Aides
 


Introduction


Hey guys! I am looking for some hackers to assist in a project I am really interested in.

The premise is that you play as a young Samuel Oak as he works his way from being a Pokémon trainer, to being a good trainer, to his eventual quitting and moving to Pokémon research.

As some of you may know I am currently also running a lone hack, which is why I would really appreciate some people to help design, make and drive this hack - Rather than letting the idea go to waste.


Further Details:


Characters include:

Samuel/Sammy Oak
-Starting out as a young trainer.

Agatha
-The 'rival' of Oak. She develops a vendetta against Oak (such as that seen in the Pokémon Adventures manga)

Bertha
-Sister of Agatha, she remains a neutral party - more of an aid than a hinderence.

Kurt
-Him and his father produce Pokéballs from apricorns collected by the player (similar to GSC) however this is the only means of obtaining Pokéballs, other than as gifts from others.

Baoba
-A child who roams the Safari Park of Old-Fuschia City, and eventually grows up to be it's warden.


Additional characters which could be used for single events:
-Pryce - Could have event where you help his Piloswine find the right herbs?
-Giovanni's Mother - ran a similar organisation to Team Rocket apparently so that could be used.
-Prof.Elm as a child?

Things I am unsure about:

Region - Kanto? Johto? Both? Whichever is chosen will have to represent a time where the technology is not nearly as advanced as in Red/Blue as it is 35-40 years previous. Original Region, with ending explaining why many residents move to other regions.

Flashforwards - Would it be interesting to view AND interact with things Oak does in the future? For instance in special locations,like Pallet, you get a flash forward to events like him giving Ash a Pikachu. Events can show the knock on effects on the future, will be accessible later in the game through Celebi. The flashforwards may reveal secret items, or things people in the future are looking for.

What Pokémon should be available? Prof.Oak, unless he was playing dumb, doesn't know of Johto type Pokémon until the time of Fr/Lg - Should this idea be stuck with or could we pretend he lied to the player?... Hm. A variety of 1st-4th Gen Pokémon, making up a unique dex.

Which ROM should this be a hack of? GSC 'retro' graphics could benefit the story plot, whereas the advantages to Ruby/FR gives a good starting basis in terms of game mechanics. I think this decision will be decided on by the scripters, ASM makers and the spriters as those are the jobs which differ the most between ROMs. This will be a hack of Fire Red.


Jobs Available
  • Mapper
  • Scripter
  • ASM-Routine design/edit/inserter
  • Tileset manager (make+insert)
  • Spriting Pro
  • Title Screen editor
  • Story Developer
  • General Graphics (CSS, Titles, Userbars).

Please provide adequete evidence of what you can do, if not I'll ask for more. General queries about how the game should work will be addressed and decided on by the team as a whole and the public.

Thank you for applying :) I love Cyan's mapping and you managed to pick a great tileset for it. Definitely accepted. What Pokémon logo would you like next to your name? :3

Also I've been formulating ideas about story, tiles and general technicalities so I shall message those through to you once... well once they make sense.

Mana March 21st, 2012 11:16 AM

Region map has now started production:



Main events have been taken into consideration. Any criticism/help would be great :3 at some point it will need spriting.

Hi there Fanp :3 Since Chrunch is currently the key mapper, and there I think it's best to keep one mapping style as much as possible I'll have to say no to mapping.

Would you like to be a scripter? I had a look on your thread and it shows that you can do quite a bit :) could you just PM me a full script or two if you're interested.

fanp March 21st, 2012 12:30 PM

It's ok for me SwiftSign.
Can i send the scripts until Friday? (I'm busy inserting tiles in pokemon legacy)
Oh...and make me a substitute mapper :D

I may be wrong but i think that Oak was born in johto.

That would be fine :3 and sure you shall be [Scripter][Mapper] ^-^


Hmm interesting, I haven't read that anywhere but I shall double check and see if I can find anything that says that.

Sorry but you've missed out the proof section, which is really important - especially with scripting since anyone who can edit a message thinks they can script.

Could you PM me examples of some complex scripts? (With an explanation if needed).

Thanks Mini :) Your deviant art is very impressive so you're in!

Yo team! (And anyone else looking)

What do you think of this tree tile:


Undecided on it's palette, but the tree tile generally I like :) Kind of similar to FireRed style tree but larger and fuller.

.Mini March 23rd, 2012 5:16 PM

That's a nice tree tile, it's like a cooler version of FR trees, i would use it ;p

Hi atif :) I'd love to take you on as a spriter - can you sprite Trainer battle sprites as well as Pokémon? Or any other types of sprites you can show me as well ^-^.

What Pokémon would you like next to your name? :) Any from Gen1-4, take your pick.

Thanks for applying Punnagg, we don't really have the need for splice sprites though - unless you can sprite trainers I'm afraid I'll have to say no.

Hey, looks pretty good! The v-section of the skirt looks a bit lopsided, maybe make it look more like a belt or something if you could? :D Also the black outline looks a bit pixelly around the skirt and more so arms, dunno how to fix that though - maybe use the dark green instead of black to outline the clothes? :S


*-**-* Tile update *-**-*

So I have found a good minitree :3 There will be more trees in the future, however half of the map is very pine-forest orientated so:


From the tileset put together by chimcharsfireworkd. Not sure which specific person made this tree though.

Mana April 2nd, 2012 9:05 AM

Where is everyone at?

Tiles update:

  • House originally by PrinceLegendario but pretty much unrecognisable now, bar the roof. The PokéCenter window was quickly edited by me (there is a normal window version for houses).
  • The flowers are nintendo, edited by me.
  • Signpost, scratched by me (and it will hopefully improve a bit).

Tetra April 2nd, 2012 12:44 PM

Them tiles look awesome, Swift! Really good choice! Also i've finished Athaga's battle sprite! Here it is!:

So thanks to Punnagg and Atif the sprites are doing well (Bertha and Agatha respectively). Keep up the good work guys!

We could do with a good scripter (fanp applied but I'm waiting for an advanced script). In the future we will need some ASM to create some great unique events/features/scripts - I may have to ask in some favours for that and start learning myself as well. We will also need a title screen put together, and the map sprited but those things can wait.

Once Chrunch is finished with the first map and I have applied the new tiles to it I shall show everyone :3

This team looks like it's progressing pretty well, and I see that you've chosen to use a fr/lg style, I would suggest using some tiles from alistair and war8, they have some fr/lg styled tiles that may come in handy.

so yeah, anyways, good luck with this hack, seems like it'll become succesful if you keep at it.

Thanks for the links :) I am slowly editing and changing the tiles and adding as much variety as I can, no doubt I'll find something from these to include.

Tiles update!

I now have most of the nature tiles updated, I think they look amazing together and I've tried mapping with them - looks good!


Credits to Zein and Chimcharfireworkd for the tree tiles, everything else is mine or slightly edited nintendo.


Tiles still to updates:
2nd House tiles
Mountain tiles
'Unique' building tiles.

If you have seen any nice ones then PM/VM me a link and I'll see :3 Nice mountain palletes will be the hardest thing.

I have no problem accepting newbies! However I think that there are regulations on the palette and size of the titlescreen, so if you would like to do it you'd need to read up on those :)

TheAgentBrandon April 6th, 2012 5:35 PM

Alright! I tinkered around with it and I understand how to change the charizard sprite to a different Pokemon sprite and also learned how to change the background of the title screen as well! I haven't learned how to change the Fire Red text quite yet but I'm sure I will find out to soon!

Do you have an idea of what you want the title screen of this rom hack to look like?

You know, you can just create a whole new titlescreen like so: and reduce the colors to 256 (using irfanview) and just use a tutorial on how to insert it in the ROM.

EDIT: The screen size should be 240 x 160.

TheAgentBrandon April 6th, 2012 9:55 PM

WHOA! I'm a noob to forum sites in general so I don't know to show I'm replying to Elite Charizard XD. I'm acquainted with irfanview but I have a few questions involving the picture. How did you make that title screen? Did you use something like gimp or photoshop?

Punnagg April 7th, 2012 1:03 AM

3x Non-Evolving Pokémon- Suicune, Ditto & Articuno
3x 2-Stage Evolutions- Eevee, Misdrevous & Sneasel
3x 3-Stage Evolutions- Beautifly, Luxario & Metagross

Introduction of Agatha event:

Spoiler:
As a 12th birthday gift Sammy is given a choice of Eggs from the village egg shop. There are 5 eggs, all different colours and types; Grass, Fire, Water, Ground, and Electric. His mother pays for it. As you leave the shop and head back to the house a young girl appears in town, pale and confused. She spots you, panics, and runs back in to the woods.

“That girl didn’t look too well, you go catch up with her Sammy - The forest can be a dangerous place, I'll go and fetch my Pokémon,” said Mom, who then heads home.

Just as you enter the woods you spot the girl, however she is suddenly attacked by a wild Pokémon and forced in to a corner – the Pokémon graveyard. As the wild Pokémon springs forward the girl cries out for help, suddenly a Gastly appears before her, frightening the other Pokémon back into the woods. As you approach the girl the Gastly acts hostile towards you too, instead of attacking the Pokémon backs up and possesses the girl – they both run further in to the woods.

You give chase, cornering them again, and this time the Gastly attacks. Luckily, the impact of the gastly’s first blow triggers your egg to hatch, and your baby pokemon springs in to action to defeat the Gastly.

The Gastly retreats back into the girls body, after clearing the way of trees, and they disappear into the forest.


Opinions? :)

Progress update :3 Thanks to Chrunch we now have the first town done, and I have applied the new tiles to create this beauty:

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d178/prossy/FirstTown.png

I have done two more maps, which I'll put up soon to get some feedback and things, and then scripting will start.

Speaking of scripting - does anyone know how to use the day/night system in scripting? To say... make a berry tree that replenishes every midnight? Berry trees are quite important in oldy-worldy pokémon so that would be great. Otherwise I have a few backup plans.


Feel free to add some more pokémon to the list! In particular, fighting and psychic are looking a bit lacking.

Banjora Marxvile April 10th, 2012 9:11 AM

I dunno people's opinions on them, but why not include the Hitmon family (Tyrogue, Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, Hitmontop), as that one family diversity for Fighting types.

Mapping, spriting, kind of scripting, pokedex XD Everything is started it's just getting it to a point of putting it together.

Once I have this Berry Tree stuff down, we will start scripting :3


Also I edited the textbox but not sure if I like it yet.

Hi guys! :)

I've checked up with a few of you recently, sorry but I'm quite busy at the moment so hesitant to start the scripting process as I will most likely be distracted.

Anyway, I bring you a give, a mini userbar:

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d178/prossy/Userbar2.png
[IMG*]http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d178/prossy/Userbar2.png[/IMG]


Please keep suggesting Pokémon for the 'dex. Also if you guys have any other ideas for characters to appear then please give your 2 cents (or more) as I'd love to hear it.

droomph April 15th, 2012 2:09 PM

So are we going to move this to DS once the map tool comes out :sidenote:

Well I hope you get what you need to get done soon, we'll all be waiting!

As much as I would love to move the hack on to a DS system:

- I have zero experience
- We would still need a scripting tool? (Or a tutorial for the bytes/raws per command)
- DS Emulators hate me :P

Well in that case I can't rule it out, if a functional map editor is around come June/July when this hack gets into full swing (as I'm out of exam period) then it shall be considered! :)

Mana April 19th, 2012 8:39 AM


Comments and Critique? The egg colours will related to the Pokémon itself, not specifically it's colour. These are just FR-OW recolours, if anyone would like to make an egg that can be easily recoloured like this one then by all means show me! ^-^

All the starters will be two-stage Pokémon.

But the green one is the only one finalised.

droomph April 19th, 2012 2:50 PM

What IS the green one?

And yeah it's great.

At the moment it's Cacnea... however. Xatu is my second choice for green (since it's so unexpected) XD

Punnagg April 20th, 2012 7:42 AM

I think Xatu is good
just my suggestion

Thanks for the input! :3 I replaced the red egg with blue since it looked a bit odd.

Would it be weird to have 4 psychic based starters?

Drowsee (Psychic) - Yellow
Xatu (Psy/Flying) - Green
Exeggcute (Psy/Grass) - Pink
Meditite (Psy/Fighting) - Blue

They're all equally weak against Ghost Pokémon, which means no starter gives you an advantage against Agatha later in the game.

droomph April 20th, 2012 3:06 PM

But:

Flying>Grass
Flying>Fighting

The only one that has advantages is Xatu. I don't know, but you could add a second rival? I'm pretty sure you can.

Here are some cycles:
Spoiler:
Fire>Grass>Water>Fire

Fighting>Rock>Flying>Fighting

Flying>Fight>Rock>Flying

Poison>Grass>Ground>Poison

Psychic>Fighting>Dark>Psychic

Rock>Fire>Grass>Rock

Steel>Rock>Fire>Steel
You can even combine two cycles if you want, but that's up to you.

The main Rival is Agatha :) There is no rival picking up an alternative egg, so cycles aren't necessary. Their relationship with Ghost is all that matters.

droomph April 20th, 2012 3:48 PM

Well, in that case I have no idea. There's only two people...and there's no strategizing.

Oh well, I guess Xatu and dem three can work well enough.

Ooh hello Chrunch! Is this your new account? Should I change the name on the first page?

Progress at the moment is slow, I have an essay and presentation to do/prepare for this week and another essay next week... I'll be doing bits of scripting here and there but other than that it's minimal :(

Are you busy at the moment? I might make you up a patch to get started on Route 2 / Edit the second town anyway you see fit.

Frozen April 23rd, 2012 1:46 PM

Sure, I can have a go. Yeah, this is my new account.

kebbles April 23rd, 2012 5:52 PM

Thats okay just thought id offer :)
Btw this is turning out to be better then i thought, the idea to make a game on oaks life was brilliant.
The screen is nice, how long does it take for an egg to hatch?
Or will we have to go walking alot before we start our journey lol.
Keen for more updates :D

There are a couple maps with events on them, but otherwise it's going slowly until SwiftSign gets his Summer break from school.

So how did the berry system turn out?

Chrunch is going to map a bit further in, I know you'd like to script but I don't feel like I have enough time to go through scripts and check them and stuff.

How about we do some idea brainstorming between us / do pokédex stuff / name towns, etc. Get little bits out the way.

droomph May 15th, 2012 12:52 PM

damn you

Name towns it is!

What should the names be based on? For example, Kanto -> colors, Unova -> cloud types, etc.

ERERER

*tries to think up a theme*

Flowers? Fruits? Types of blood sucking insects?



Any other ideas throw them at me XD aha.

chrunch May 15th, 2012 11:49 PM

Maybe since the hero is Prof. Oak we should stick with the Kanto color theme?

Sunflora~ is a pokémon, and I'd rather not have a village full of them :O.

Blooming Town... Idk it just seems to cheesey to me?

First three I can't really imagine as town names, they're too complicated. Something derived from Solandra/related to Solandra might be interesting though since Solandra = Night Shade = Ghost move.

Floret is a bit too similar to just 'Flower', IMO.

Hey guys!

My exams finish on Friday so after this weekend I shall be 100% back on task :) over the last few weeks all I have really done is research and planning, however I did knock up some quick alternative emotes (although most were just simple edits).


There's one more emote, the smiley face, but I'm not sure what to change it to yet. Any ideas people? Perhaps a symbol that can indicate our time travel / Celebi communication later in the game?

How 'bout a "..." emote? Maybe time travel communication is better though.

Hello Nintendork! We could really do with an OW Spriter so you're excepted!

The main OW we need, really, is the protagonist's. This is the canon Sammy Oak, personally I think he does look a bit plain - but any sprite you can do which resembles him would be a great start!
